3.3.10.1  :  Bower2006a

This table contains the original version of the Bower2006a galaxy catalogue, which is retained here so that old queries can be reproduced. A newer version of this catalogue with the same set of bands and galaxy properties as the Lagos2012a and Gonzalez2014a models is also available - see the table Bower2006a..MR.

This model has been superseded by the Lagos2012a model, which is also based on the Millennium Run but has an improved treatment of star formation. If you require a galaxy catalogue based on the WMAP1 cosmology it is now recommended that you use the Lagos model rather than this one.

All magnitudes include dust extinction and assume that H0 = 100km/sec/Mpc.
